The number of occurrences of the arrow pattern 1-2 with an arrow from 1 to 2 in a permutation.
Let $\nu$ be a (partial) permutation of $[k]$ with $m$ letters together with dashes between some of its letters. An occurrence of $\nu$ in a permutation $\tau$ is a subsequence $\tau_{a_1},\dots,\tau_{a_m}$
such that $a_i + 1 = a_{i+1}$ whenever there is a dash between the $i$-th and the $(i+1)$-st letter of $\nu$, which is order isomorphic to $\nu$.
Thus, $\nu$ is a vincular pattern, except that it is not required to be a permutation.
An arrow pattern of size $k$ consists of such a generalized vincular pattern $\nu$ and arrows $b_1\to c_1, b_2\to c_2,\dots$, such that precisely the numbers $1,\dots,k$ appear in the vincular pattern and the arrows.
Let $\Phi$ be the map Mp00087inverse first fundamental transformation. Let $\tau$ be a permutation and $\sigma = \Phi(\tau)$. Then a subsequence $w = (x_{a_1},\dots,x_{a_m})$ of $\tau$ is an occurrence of the arrow pattern if $w$ is an occurrence of $\nu$, for each arrow $b\to c$ we have $\sigma(x_b) = x_c$ and $x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_k$.

Let $\sigma = (i_{11}\cdots i_{1k_1})\cdots(i_{\ell 1}\cdots i_{\ell k_\ell})$ be a permutation given by cycle notation such that every cycle starts with its maximal entry, and all cycles are ordered increasingly by these maximal entries.
Maps $\sigma$ to the permutation $[i_{11},\ldots,i_{1k_1},\ldots,i_{\ell 1},\ldots,i_{\ell k_\ell}]$ in one-line notation.
In other words, this map sends the maximal entries of the cycles to the left-to-right maxima, and the sequences between two left-to-right maxima are given by the cycles.

Sends a Dyck path $D$ with valley at positions $\{(i_1,j_1),\ldots,(i_k,j_k)\}$ to the unique non-crossing permutation $\pi$ having descents $\{i_1,\ldots,i_k\}$ and whose inverse has descents $\{j_1,\ldots,j_k\}$.
It sends the area St000012The area of a Dyck path. to the number of inversions St000018The number of inversions of a permutation. and the major index St000027The major index of a Dyck path. to $n(n-1)$ minus the sum of the major index St000004The major index of a permutation. and the inverse major index St000305The inverse major index of a permutation..

Return the Dyck path corresponding to the parallelogram polyomino obtained by applying Delest-Viennot's bijection.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n$. The parallelogram polyomino $\gamma(D)$ is defined as follows: let $\tilde D = d_0 d_1 \dots d_{2n+1}$ be the Dyck path obtained by prepending an up step and appending a down step to $D$. Then, the upper path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with even indices, and the lower path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with odd indices.
The Delest-Viennot bijection $\beta$ returns the parallelogram polyomino, whose column heights are the heights of the peaks of the Dyck path, and the intersection heights between columns are the heights of the valleys of the Dyck path.
This map returns the Dyck path $(\gamma^{(-1)}\circ\beta)(D)$.
